The GE Profile Opal Mini Nugget Ice Maker is a compact 2026 addition to the cult-favorite Opal line, delivering the same soft, chewable nugget ice in a body 30% smaller than the Opal Ultra. It produces up to 36 lbs of ice per day at 1.5 lbs/hour, with first ice in about 5 minutes and a 2.6 lb pull-out bin, plus a True Fill removable reservoir and an optional side tank accessory. Wi-Fi via the SmartHQ app brings remote control and cleaning reminders, while the Pro and Pro+ variants add a scale-inhibiting filter, side tank and RGB lighting — all at an entry price of $279.
